Reading Room JET POWERS "Devil Machine"

Let's return to the high-tech adventures of Jet Powers...

...beginning with the cover story about a mad scientist who ends up redefining "multi-tasking"...

Is it just me, or does Mikla look a lot like Marlon Stone from Jet Powers #2's "House of Horror", who also experimented with animals and then perished in flames?

Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Bob Powell, this tale from Magazine Entertainment's Jet Powers #3 (1951) was unique in being a stand-alone story.

The other two Jet tales were two-parters that began in this issue, then concluded in the following one...as you'll see tomorrow!

Captain America Silver Age Gallery

Today we're re-presenting a gallery of Captain America art from the Silver Age by Jim Steranko (above) and the character's co-creator Jack Kirby (all the rest).
Why?
Because we're going to see Captain America: the Winter Soldier, and I'm in a "Captain America" sorta mood!
Besides, I don't plug my collectibles everyday! Just most days...  ;-)

Enjoy!

Captain America: the Winter Soldier in Theaters Now...

So what are you doing this weekend?

For us, it's this, and the Game of Thrones season premiere...

Reading Room: NOT BRAND ECHH "Original Origin of Charlie America"

With the NEW Captain America movie opening tonite, we thought we'd present...

...to prepare all three of you unfamiliar with the character ('cause we're really nice guys)!

Admittedly, this ain't exactly how they portrayed his origin in the previous movie.

But hey, this classic from Marvel's Not Brand Echh #3 (1967) is a lotta fun anyway!

Marvel Characters Inspire Clothing Designers...

Ever wondered if a cape and tights could pass for haute couture?

On Thursday, Project Runway: Under the Gunn viewers will find out.
The four remaining competitors on the reality show will use Marvel characters such as Black Widow, Captain Marvel (shown above), Falcon, Hawkeye and the Guardians of the Galaxy as inspiration for a ready-to-wear challenge.

Jaimie Alexander (Lady Sif on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Thor films) will serve as a guest judge ready to school the hopefuls on all things fierce.

Cort Lane (that name just sounds like a superhero), Marvel’s vice president in charge of animation development and production, will also be on hand as a guest mentor.

Catch it Thursday evening on Lifetime, 9 p.m. ET/PT.
